Call for Wickipedia Experts

August 23, 2008

My Wikipedia listing is one of the first things you’ll find when searching for Kevin Nalts or Kevin Nalty, and it’s all out of date and incomplete. But I’m terrified about editing my own Kevin Nalty Wikipedia entry even when I’m just updating facts.

For that matter, I don’t even know how to edit the main entry or stop the article from being stuck in dispute over neutrality (apparently there has been some NPOV quarreling between CoolKid1993 and Jake Leanard (Djjackal0509). Jake has been listing me as an assistant editor for his blog called “Politics and YouTube in Review” blog. I wrote two short posts for it in 2007. And then I kinda forgot about the blog and haven’t even read it in 2008.

Anyway there’s a lot of more newsworthy information (see Nalts News) that has occurred since this wikipedia was written. Below is a screen shot of my latest YouTube stats. And for the love of God, could someone stop returning us to this awful picture of me from 7/7/7? I look like a geeky computer technician with uneven shoulders and no fashion sense.

Anyone know how to update them? CoolKid, baby? You out there? Help a brother out?

By the way, hopefully the subscriber base improves when I appear on The Retarded Policeman (turns out it’s next Friday not yesterday as I thought). Yeyyy!

As a fat chick, I must formally lodge my protest against your attempt to unfavorably compare your 7/7/7 photo to us geeky computer technician with uneven shoulders and no fashion sense. You look like a marquisdejolie in drag. Okay that’s kinda redundant, but you get my drift.

2 sukatra August 23, 2008 at 6:45 am

P.S. Mary Land can probably help you with the wikipedia entry. Of course I’ll be paying her to put all kinds of inflammatory comments in there.

3 marquisdejolie August 23, 2008 at 6:56 am

I think the cheese moved again.

4 Nalts August 23, 2008 at 8:24 am

Sukatra- I love the repetition of my uneven shoulders. Might you get that into my wikipedia? it’ sa medical proof.

Marquis- everytime I see the banner I think about the moving cheese.

According to that page, you did a video with Andy Dick! When the hell did that happen!?!

I’m also surprised I’m still on there. Does anybody even remember the video of yours I was in? I don’t even remember the title…

6 Reubnick August 23, 2008 at 9:30 am

oooh wait, it also says you did a video with the lead singer of Paramore! That is the hottest girl I’ve ever seen!

Either way, I’m willing to guess that’s also untrue.

7 sukatra August 23, 2008 at 9:52 am

My comments are so much funnier when you mess with them. Not.

8 Peter Coffin August 23, 2008 at 10:44 am

@Reubnick – Yeah, I saw the thing about Andy Dick as well… And I am not going to try to find it with the sheer number of things Nalts has made.

9 xjasongarciax August 23, 2008 at 11:16 am

Good luck! I tried changing your picture a while back when you ask for help a long time ago. I couldn’t figure it out. I don’t like that picutre either…it doesn’t look like you at all, did you just take a hit of crack when the pic was taken? Hmmm?

I also liked the older “half face” pic better too. You look like an elf in the new one. I’m waiting for your green velvet vest to appear.

:o )

10 DahliaK August 23, 2008 at 11:19 am

Why isn’t there a searchable videography of Nalts’ work?

11 DahliaK August 23, 2008 at 11:20 am

Did you just change color schemes, while I was commenting? I hit submit and everything went neon green!

12 DahliaK August 23, 2008 at 11:22 am

I know how to edit a Wikipedia entry, I think. I did it once, on one of my professors. Are you looking for someone to edit in the content of your choice?

I ain’t offering to write the thing, though.

13 somecallmejim August 23, 2008 at 11:38 am

I’ll pop over to wiki and add some in a bit. How’s this:

“Recently in a blog posting, Nalts linked to a picture showing his inner mouth sores, confirming the online speculation that he suffers from herpes.”

Will that work? Anyone? I can find other useless nonsense to add too, if needed.

14 DahliaK August 23, 2008 at 11:51 am

The Wikipedia entry on Nalts reads like a puff piece. How about a dryer style of reportage?

I ain’t offering to write the thing, though.

15 Reubnick August 23, 2008 at 12:25 pm

At least we can all rest easier now that the picture has been changed. Big improvement, I think.

16 jischinger August 23, 2008 at 1:02 pm

whistle

17 xjasongarciax August 23, 2008 at 2:17 pm

Yey for the new pic! LOL!

18 NutCheese August 23, 2008 at 5:15 pm

I only read the wiki page because it had my name on it.

19 marquisdejolie August 23, 2008 at 6:19 pm

Is it time to move on, Kevin?

20 Jake Leonard - Politics & YouTube In Review August 23, 2008 at 7:24 pm

marquisdejolie, I meant my blog title as a rhetorical meaning……

I meant any controversy I had caused on his Wiki page…..not what contributions he did write on my blog…..

I did put on my post that he can always post at any time…..but I did not mean for the post title to be taken seriously.

21 marquisdejolie August 23, 2008 at 8:11 pm

I never could figure out how to create/edit those Wiki pages (except the ones Metacafe offers) but then, I had an unsynched edumation:

22 jisching August 23, 2008 at 9:28 pm

cha cha cha changes!

23 jisching August 23, 2008 at 9:49 pm

Why isn’t my blog on this Leonard guys blog?

once you get the hang of the wiki it’s pretty easy to figure out.
just open two windows, see what you like on the page window then find it in the edit window – C&P from the edit window down below the entry, then backspace and edit the stuff in between. Eventually you’ll figure it out, always preview first though and if you mess up you can look at the history and get what you destroyed or ask for help Remember if you don’t save in the end it’s not saved. Best to keep a copy in a text or word doc on your HD.

24 marquisdejolie August 23, 2008 at 11:08 pm

^ What’s a window?

25 brindle16 August 23, 2008 at 11:39 pm

oh please. You old folks act all high and mighty and stuff, but when you need a simple little thing like a wikipedia edit, who do you turn to? Us young-uns. psh.

You disgust me.

26 marquisdejolie August 23, 2008 at 11:53 pm

I think you should use a screenclip from THIS video, Kevin:

BTW: Whatever happened to the Nalts coloring book idea?

27 jisching August 24, 2008 at 12:24 am

#24 that browser thingy

28 Nalts August 24, 2008 at 4:16 am

Dahliak is solving it. She’s going to author a better wickipedia entry, even if her birds go hungry for the day. DahliaK- you gotta get Loiuse Hay’s book that has a glossary of illness and potential mental causes. Don’t take it too literally, though. :)

29 marquisdejolie August 24, 2008 at 4:42 am

@28
The Veterans Administration is also an expert on mental causes, Kevin:

Are you guys editing YOUR Wiki Cafe pages? Any suggestions for mine? (nothing to do with body fluids, please)

^ American Dysfunctional?

32 oushadow August 24, 2008 at 12:41 pm

And there’s something wrong with geeky computer technicians? Seriously.

33 Reubnick August 24, 2008 at 1:02 pm

You know, I seriously love the new picture on the Nalts wikipedia page. I hope it never changes.

34 Marilyn August 24, 2008 at 6:04 pm

I would be more than happy to re-write the whole thing for you Nalts, except I am going on vacation tomorrow. If DahliaK hasn’t gotten it worked out by the time I get back, let me know.

35 DahliaK August 24, 2008 at 8:25 pm

DahliaK is not going to rewrite any of it. Nalts lives in a fantasy world.

Luckily, he sometimes shares it with us.

36 Jake Leonard - Politics & YouTube In Review August 25, 2008 at 9:59 am

jisching, I just never really heard of you until you got involved with Nalts…..if you want me to, I can add you…..

37 Jake Leonard - Politics & YouTube In Review August 25, 2008 at 12:42 pm

Hey, Kevin….maybe you should take over Wikipedia and rename it to Whackopedia…..LMMFAO

38 Jake Leonard - Politics & YouTube In Review August 30, 2008 at 12:21 pm

You can afford to buy them out, can’t you?



39 Reubnick September 2, 2008 at 4:31 pm

oooooh man, they deleted the picture I added!

40 Marilyn September 2, 2008 at 8:13 pm

Still need help with this, Nalts?
